Yes, but only use the vibrate mode. It will startle but not hurt. Give the command you want, then if no response push only once. The startle will go with the unwanted action. We tried both modes on ourselves.So we would know what our dog would feel. The shock was way to much. But the vibrate was fine. I wish there was a intensity level adjustment. Remember to check the batteries in both the collar and remote. We have a small dog who thinks he needs to bark all the time and usually at nothing. Now all we say is" quiet or do you need your collar on" and he's quiet. He no longer wears his collar all the time, and it only took about 20- 30 mins. for him to learn. Use the vibrate.

The medium size collar will be too big for an 8 lb puppy. You may want to buy a size small or extra small.

No.... I sent the product back as it poorly made. I could not get the collar open to insert battery. I partially destroyed it with tools and could still not get it open.

Yes it will but you may want to pay a little more for better quality. Ours worked great until it was time to change the batteries, then the whole unit fell apart -both pieces.

Our dog was about 15lbs and we had to put it as tight as it would get, so I think it might be to big.

Wow! Wish I could tell you, but my dog weighs only 8 pounds ! The harness didn't work for her. Hope some big-dog owners get back to you.

My dogs are 80 lbs +. I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer for small dog applications. I would not believe the settings on the lowest would be detrimental. But incorrect application could create more problems between you and your dog. Use this tool sparingly.

The idea to try it on at a store sounds good. My dog weighs 8 lbs and I use a small.

It should fit because it is adjustable, however pet safe recommends it for dogs 8 pounds or more. I did put it on my 4 pound Yorkie

If the 20 pd. dog is a jumper I'm not sure it would work. My 8lb. Maltese almost jumped over it.

i honestly dont think so because I bought this as a temporary kennel outside for my black lab puppy and he is only 31 pounds at the time i put him in it.

I believe it would if he's under 8lbs.... It was too small for out 11lb Jack Russell.

My Norwich Terrier weighs 16-17 lbs., and the stroller works for him. I wish it was a little bigger, but it will work.

Thank you for your question! This system is designed to be used for pets weighing at least 8 pounds.

The 4" is really short to the ground so I'm sure it will be okay for the puppy. When they get bigger, you might want to upgrade to the taller one so it doesn't strain the neck.

It's fine for my eleven pound dachshund but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my eight pound Pom. I have a collar that I've put on a collar that is smaller than it one it came on and I'm trying to get the connectors to work right. The collar that comes with it is way too big. So...I haven't figured out the right combination yet to see if I can get it to work. If I do, I'll post it to this same inquiry.

As long as your pet is less than 8.5 inches tall I don't believe you'll have any issues.

Yes. We use ours for a 7 lb and 16 lb mini dachshunds. Wont work for much bigger than that though.

Your puppy should be fine... I had a puppy in mine that was a friends he kept trying to get in so we put him there. He is about 5-6 lbs and no problems.. Good luck.

No. My dog is 88lbs and it does not fit him. I could not return it. The seller ignored me when I emailed.
